system is simple yet addictive. It has the same basic concept as other strategy
RPGs, but uses many unique features and enhancements that make this game
unprecedented. The following are some of the special features of Disgaea® DS:
Geo Panels – A group of stat-altering elemental properties that are placed upon
certain parts of the battlefield. When there are one or more colored panels on
the battle grid, it means an element can affect that area. The effect can boost
or reduce your unit’s stats.

Geo Cubes – A new addition to the
PSP version, Geo Cubes are magic items that add more depth to multi-player
battles. You can use the various Geo Cubes to enhance your abilities, summon
monsters, or even attack your enemies with them. Demon Gadgets – Randomly
generated items that appear on the battlefield. By acquiring these gadgets, you
can power-up your units. Some demon gadgets can level your unit up by 30 levels
at once.
